Rokenbok ... Legos meets Erector Sets
My boy is a builder. Whether it’s Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, or Legos, he can’t get enough to building. And now that he’s of age, I can’t wait to get him his first Erector set (yes, you can still get them). But when I saw Rokenbok, I though, man, this is the best of both worlds.
Rokenbok is very modular, as you would expect, but it also has the added coolness factor of including radio controlled cars and trucks to bring life to small city kids will build. Kids can create monorails, construction sites, buildings, even a cool ski-lift that actually works.
The Inventor Toolbox is a more free form Rokenbok that works with easier models.
Of the various sets available, include the Junior Series, which includes a remote controlled dump truck, roadway with chutes, two figures and miscellaneous parts. Cost is just south of $100. Then there’s the Power Chutes Starter Set which is a great simple set that comes with a front loader, r/c controller, and tons of track and connectors. Cost is a more modest $70. Lastly, there’s the Inventor’s Tool Box which has over 615 pieces and is completely free-form, meaning kids can build whatever their imagination takes them. Cost is about $115. All sets work together so the toys will last a long time and grow with a child’s skill level. And what’s even cooler comes the word that Rokenbok actually interfaces with Legos, meaning kids can take their existing toys to the next level rather than simply outgrow them.
